Beard style guide
15 beard styles, and the faces they suit
A beard changes the shape of your jaw. Pick one that balances your face shape, then keep its lines sharp.
Clean shaven
Shows off a strong jawline and looks younger.
Designer stubble
3 mm all over. Adds definition to the jaw with almost no upkeep.
Short boxed beard
About 1 cm with sharp cheek and neck lines. Adds structure to a soft jaw.
Full beard
About 3 cm, rounded at the chin. Adds width and weight to a narrow jaw.
Goatee
Chin and moustache only. Lengthens a round face and draws focus to the centre.
Anchor beard
A pointed chin beard with a separate moustache. Adds angles to a round face.
Van Dyke
A pointed chin beard with a separate moustache: sharp and classic.
Circle beard
A moustache joined to the chin in a neat ring.
Balbo
A floating moustache over a chin-and-jaw beard.
Beardstache
A thick moustache over short stubble: retro and rugged.
Chevron moustache
A thick moustache to the corners of the mouth, clean-shaven otherwise.
Horseshoe moustache
A moustache with bars down to the jaw: bold and biker-tough.
Faded beard
Fuller at the chin, fading to skin at the sideburns.
Ducktail beard
A full beard tapered to a point at the chin.
Garibaldi
A long, wide full beard with a rounded bottom.
